A 46-year-old man from Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was held by Police ranks at about 10.45 pm on Friday with a quantity of marijuana and the drug `Molly’.
The party of police ranks were on mobile patrol at the time, and while in the vicinity of Republic Drive, Beterverwagting, ECD, a 46-year-old male was observed riding a pedal cycle heading south, wearing a one-strap camouflage bag around his neck and acting suspiciously.
The police say that the suspect parked his bicycle at a corner shop on the eastern side of the road and began to walk away. As a result, the ranks exited the vehicle. They searched the suspect and a black pouch within the said bag was examined. Thirty-four zip-lock plastic bags were discovered, each containing leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis.
A further search was conducted where seven transparent plastic bags containing several crystal-like substances suspected to be Methamphetamine/`Molly’ were found.
The suspect, from Block 8 Mon Repos, ECD, was told of the offence, cautioned, arrested and escorted to the BV Police Station with the suspected cannabis and Molly, which was weighed and photographed in his presence.
The suspected cannabis amounted to 16.66 grams, while the suspected `Molly’ amounted to 1.5 grams.
